Frampton War Memorial Obelisk

The memorial is located within a small garden on the corner of Thorniman Lane and Middlegate Road, c13m to the south-west of Memorial Cottage (Grade II). It takes the form of a 3.7m tall obelisk of Cornish granite. Standing on a square of concrete within a grassed roadside enclosure, it has a square base, a tapering square plinth bearing the inscription, and a four sided, pyramidal, obelisk rising above.

The inscription is on the eastern face of the memorial, facing the road. In raised lead lettering, painted black, it reads ERECTED/ IN MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN/ THE GREAT WARS/ 1914-1918/ (16 NAMES)/ 1939-1945 (1 NAME). The firm of masons is recorded in small metal letters on the southern face of the memorial: G.MAILE & SON/ EUSTON RD LONDON.
